I just tried Hannah Montana Linux and it is glorious
WiFi and webcam don't work out of the box, but it's an old MacBook so I wasn't expecting much. The color scheme is surprisingly well done.

so... kde with a pink scheme?
EDIT: Yeah. source even says it's Debian+ KDE + Pink
EDIT2 : @[email protected] , the webcam stuff is on you, it's basically debian. use debian solutions for your particular macbook/webcam and it should work.
Or just get Asahi linux and slap a pink KDE theme/the theme/branding for HM linux on that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asahi_Linux
EDIT3 : Just install this and call it a day : https://store.kde.org/p/2362661
When I set up Linux on my wife's MacBook it took two hours to find all the instructions on how to do it AND the files needed to do it. Had to use 4 different instruction sets because all 4 left out some steps.
So yeah, MacBook webcam functionality is on the installer/user, but it's not always easy to figure out how to do it if you've never done it before.
same here w my macbooks almost 10 years ago.
now deepseek will give you copy/paste-able instructions in a few seconds; the future is now. lol
That’s an Intel MacBook, no Asahi.
🤷
good for pointing out for people, my bad. IDK which macs are what.
To be honest, I'm just running HML as a live image from a USB drive. This computer normally runs Arch. I got the webcam working when I first installed Arch, but it broke at some point and I haven't had the energy to fix it. The AUR has the proprietary firmware, and drivers are part of the kernel, so I'm not sure what the issue is.
Yeah unfortunately the new one doesn't skip their neck out. I'd like way more pink
Was the OG any different ?

Kubuntu + pink.
so no.
sudo Montanactl statusPonyOS or bust.
Ngl, I would rock that on a backup device.
But a PowerpuffOS? Now that is a daily driver steeped in chemical X
I'm loving their reviews section at the bottom.
Now I have seen everything

IDK. If one wants to try the Os without ponying it up, they can try this
What are people saying about PonyOS?
you have gone too far this time you fucking pony fags.... Anon, from /prog/
Bust. You. For bringing ponies back from the dead. Leave that cringe in the past.
Gonna take a screenshot and ask them if they add your review to the bottom of their page :D
Some of us live our best pony life everyday.
I'm sure you do. At least the Internet isn't saturated with pony fanboys. Not in the places where I notice them.
Gods those days on DeviantArt were tye worst. Forums too.
Well, I thought the thing on Commodore OS I saw just today was pretty cool. So I guess I can't pan this too much.
Commodore os is fricken sweet dude. If I'd had that shit as a kid I'd have been flooored
It was awesome, so awesome that I later upgraded to the Amiga when that came out. Amiga OS CLI was similar to Unix. So I had Linux before Linux, with a multitasking OS, stereo sound, and 4096 color game console.
I actually lived near the Commodore United States headquarters and I did a brief internship in high school there.
I was, had a vic 20 and c64
for wifi you need to broadcom firmware, the camera also needs firmware but they gotta be extracted from an osx installation iirc
Finally a distro that I can trust again
They're still going at it??
Looks like someone is
Damn, I wish I have that level of dedication toward something.
No, it's a spiritual reincarnation
It doesn't use old icons but default of KDE which is bummer
Is there a driver installer app?
